The Damned - Smash It Up - Chiswick 'A' Label promo/demo - an incredibly rare record!!!
THE DAMNED
SMASH IT UP
'A' LABEL CHISWICK PROMO/DEMO (CHIS116) - 1979
FABULOUS CONDITION (SLEEVE/RECORD)
Here it is Damned collectors - one of the 'big ones'! Let's see...where does this one sit in the list of Damned UK 'must haves'? hmmm....how about 2nd only to the DJ promo copy of "I Just Can't Be Happy Today" in terms of singles and maybe 3rd overall, behind that and the erratum version of "Damned, Damned, Damned"! Either way, those of you who already know about this will appreciate that this is a real turn up for the books! I don't think I've ever seen more than a couple of these for sale over the past ten years or so.
As you can probably see from the picture, the record's in great shape too! The record and the sleeve could be graded as at least VG++, bordering on EX. The only 'picky' thing I could perhaps point to is what looks like a small circle just above the 'A' on the label. I dunno if this was sticker residue or what, but it doesn't affect the way the record plays or looks really, so there you go!
I doubt you'll see another one of these come along again in a hurry, so if you're wanting to add one of the 'big guns' to your collection, this is for you!
I'm expecting massive interest in this, so I'll start it off reasonably low. Please ask me if you have any questions about it and I'll do my best to answer them.
I'm going to let the auction take its course, so there'll be no 'buy it now' price. Everyone will want a piece of this, so it'll find its own level!
Winning bidder must pay within 2 days of end of auction please, via Paypal only. I do not accept other methods of payment. I will happily post the record to any country, so I'll let you know what it costs for secure airmail etc.
I've got some more rare 'Stiff' stuff going up soon, along with some other choice rarities from my collection, so please keep an eye on my userid over the coming weeks - you might see something else you like - this is merely the first of a shedload!
Happy bidding and whoever wins it is gonna be mighty pleased, I reckon!

First of all...a massive thanks to everyone who's bid on this record so far, it's created a real stir!
Now, I don't want to get you too excited...but at 7pm tonight (Sunday 6th November), I will be putting up another classic Damned single, another one of the UK 'biggies!'.
I forgot to mention it last time....can you guess which one it is? You'll just have to wait until 7pm to find out!
Time...is waiting in the wings...
